Pink Christmas!
I have written about white Christmases, blue Christmases,
Colorado Christmases, Tucson Christmases and many, many Oklahoma
Christmases. Today I am sharing about this years pink Christmas.
Way back in September, one night as I was tucking him into
bed my Matthew announced that this year he was going to decorate his Christmas tree
with pink ornaments. I have mentioned
that he has a silver tinsel tree we put in his room during the holidays. I figured his comment meant a few pink
ornaments on his tree in his room and we would be good. As usual, I could not have been more wrong.
In the fall my Matthew discovered pinterest and started pinning some
crazy pink Christmas trees, wreathes, along with pink stockings, crafts, and even
a pink vw van. I asked him where he was
going with this and he reminded me that this year was our pink Christmas and he
just was getting ideas.
In October on a trip to Michaels for something completely
unrelated he picked out supplies for several Christmas crafts. Since they were relatively inexpensive I went
along with it. Then he selected some
very expensive hot pink ribbon. I tried
to steer him towards something more affordable but he would not be deterred and
said he was willing to pay for it himself.
When he got to the cash register with his ribbon the cashier said, “wow
that is some really pink ribbon.” My
Matthew stood up tall and said “yes, yes it is.” My Paul stepped up behind Matthew and put his
hand on his shoulder and the cashier totaled the sale and took his money
without further comment.
Matthew used his desire for a pink Christmas, and not
inconsiderable crafting skills to create the centerpieces for last night’s
Christmas party. I loved them, and he
was very proud of the compliments he received.
